Is a no go for me. 16 download attempts, all failed trying Firefox, IE, and DAP. The model only shows 22 downloads at last look.

Guess will try later when their traffic is lower.
 
For those having difficulty downloading from Britsim, check their forum. Leif has kindly provided an alternate download link.
 
Thanks, I'll give that link a try. Strange thing is that I got their Provost and sounds earlier this week without a single problem?

Edit: That worked!
 
Thanks for the alternative download link.:salute:

By the by.....did you know that the Shackleton has been likened to an Elephant?...

Grey and wrinkly on the outside

and dark and smelly on the inside!:icon_lol:
 
Well, there seems to be some download issues from various spots here in North America. I ran tests with Firefox and lunascape in an attempt to help and found through lunascape that the downloads are stopping at approximately one third of the way through. if it were just myself, i would have a talk with my ISP, but others that are having the same problem are located throughout the continent. Its a shame really.. A terrible shame..

Worth persevering though Pam. Rob was kind enough to let me try it out at the beta stage, and even at that point it was stunning (especially with Gary's sounds dropped in). As you probably know, FSX is not my natural habitat, as my PC is not optimum spec for the sim - but Rob's Shack didn't make me drop a frame! Looking forward to getting the final version, thanks Rob. :salute:

I am exactly 483 miles South of you - And Have downloaded Robs Shack from our website twice to put it on sendbigfiles.......it downloaded ALL 30mb in about 2 minutes....no I dont live in Silicon valley I live in a little town on the coast so I can claim "Super connection" And previously when I lived in Vegas I had NEVER experieinced a problem downloading from our host which is located in Utah.
And to top everything else in my ill concieved efforts to help ingrates who think that
freeware is a RIGHT and not a priveldge I have managed to have my personal account at snedbigfiles revoked because some ASS on this site linked to the tiny url I posted at the Pond , which caused it to crash from the traffic and SBF have now closed my account -- thanks

I DONT DO THIS FOR ANYTHING except the satisfaction of seeing excellent developers models get out to the public -- I DONT have payware or shareware
I am NOT an IT type , just a fan of old British aircraft who manages Britsim because
the owner (Rob English) has a very busy schedule.

Sorry if I am ranting but I have spent the day reading garbage and dealing with
ungrateful asses/

no apologies needed Leif.. i totally understand. And no, i'm not really complaining, just reporting my findings.. Were all of us that are experiencing problems using BendBroadband, i wouldnt hesitate to be chewing them up one side and down the other. However, thats not the case and its just a shame that so many of us will not be able to enjoy this aircraft.. Delighted though that others are :).. it looks spectacular..
 
The BritSim folks may kick my arse for this, but here's yet another alternative d/l location.



Provided the BritSim managers agree, fell free to pass it on.


Can't (shouldn't) stop the signal...especially when it's free.


- Edit: Hey, they could've kicked my arse for it!
 
Excellent. I've been waiting for this one.

I don't know what it is about the Shackleton. I don't really see it as particularly attractive, it doesn't have an exhaustive combat record and it's not exotic...but I've always admired it for some unknown reason.

It's like WWII English fighters; the Hurricane's always appealed to me more then the Spitfire.

Thanks guys.

Thanks but we are not going to go there. If Britsim wants to host it in free hosting they will do it but we will not lead the way. Its their file not ours.

I find it funny that I could not download the Shackleton from their site but I could several other files that I did not even care to have.

The issue is clearly on their server with that file. They will fix it I am sure.
